Dual-award with the University of Melbourne

We are keen to support the development of world-class researchers by establishing dual-award PhD programmes with international partners that will provide you with access to world-class facilities, expertise and field environments.

This dual-award programme between The University of Manchester and The University of Melbourne offers candidates the opportunity to apply for a project with a strong supervisory team in both Manchester and in Melbourne, leading to awards from both partner institutions.

PhD candidates will be registered at both Manchester and Melbourne and must complete all of the requirements of the PhD programme in both the home and partner university.

The Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health has the following projects advertised as part of the dual-award programme:

• Professor Hilary Ashe - Transcription factor function in health and disease
• Professor Dawn Dowding - Nurses’ experiences of the usability of Electronic Health Records
• Professor Mark Travis - How do a novel subset of suppressive memory T cells function to protect us during reinfection?
• Professor Simon Luckman - Identification of brain circuits regulating energy balance, nutrient partitioning, valence and learned conditioning
